Development of HTTP_Request package is halted, only bug fixing will be done.
Please submit feature requests for HTTP_Request2 package.

Fixes:
* Improved memory usage of _buildRequest() method (bug #14574)
* Clarified documentation for addFile() method to mention that it is useful
only for POST method file uploads (bug #14635)
* Do not send "Content-Length: 0" header for methods other than
POST and PUT, as some servers may return error 400 (bug #14740)

* Added possibility to get reason phrase from HTTP response (request #12352)
* PHP 4.2.0 should be the minimal PHP version (bug #12354), also updated other
dependencies' versions to saner values
* Send a Content-Length header in request even if body is empty (request #12900)
* Do not pass length parameter to gzinflate(), it could cause problems in some
corner cases (bugs #13135, #14370)
* Return an error if trying to do a HTTPS request without OpenSSL support
(bug #14127)
* Do not stop reading chunked response body prematurely (bug #14200)

* The final CRLF was not properly added to request headers on POST request
with no post data (Thanks to Brock Weaver)
* Added error codes (request #12335, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* HTTP_Request sent broken requests on redirects with no trailing slash
(bug #12308, thanks to Joe Stump for the patch)
* Requests with a body consisting of only a symbol '0' were sent without body
(reported privately by Sam Ghods)
* download-progress.php example was broken since 1.4.0 due to addition of
'connect' and 'disconnect' events. Now works again.

* Added Keep-Alive support (request #4806), thanks to Justin Patrin for the
initial patch. Please note that "Connection: close" header is still added
by default, you need to explicitly add "Connection: Keep-Alive" header or
remove "Connection" header if using HTTP 1.1
* A new disconnect() method was added which forces disconnection from the
server if Keep-Alive is used. Also two new events are sent to the Listeners:
"connect" and "disconnect"
* Added getUrl() method (request #6589)
* Added method to properly parse header of gzip-encoded data (see RFC 1952).
This takes care of situations when the server adds some additional data
to the header (bug #8245) or sends data that is not gzip-encoded when
"Content-Encoding: gzip" header is present (bug #8213)
* "Proxy-Authorization" header is now properly set by constructor
(bug #5913)
* Fixed doc comments mentioning addBody() method instead of proper setBody()
(bug #5969)
* Fixed erroneous removal of "Content-Type" header from request
(bug #7922)
* Bogus HTTP headers are now ignored (bug #8214)
* Path is set to "/" if an URL without path (http://www.example.com)
is given (bug #8662)
* Moved to package.xml version 2.0

* All request and response headers are now treated case-insensitively,
per RFC 2616 (bug #1045, bug #4367).
* Values of multiple response headers with the same name are combined
into a comma-separated string per RFC 2616 (bug #1045)
* Generate proper closing boundary for multipart/form-data requests,
per RFC 1521 (bug #4397)
* magic_quotes_runtime directive is switched off when performing the
request since it may break file uploads and chunked responses (bug #4543)
* Response::_readChunked() will finish on zero-length chunk rather than
socket eof (patch from bug #3037)
* Added HTTP_Request::setBody() method, deprecated addRawPostData() due to
misleading name. The request body will be sent with all request methods
except those that explicitly forbid this (e.g. TRACE). Data set via
addPostData() / addFile() will only be sent with POST (see request #4716)

Additions and changes:
* Applied patch from #851 (First parameter of constructor is now optional)
* Implemented #526 (It is now possible to set timeout on socket, via
parameter readTimeout)
* Implemented #1141 (It is now possible to pass options to socket via
parameter socketOptions, Net_Socket 1.0.2 is needed for this functionality)

Feature additions:
* Support for multipart/form-data POST requests and file uploads (partly based on Christian Stocker's work)
* Brackets [] after array variables are optional (on by default, controlled by useBrackets parameter)
* HTTP_Request now implements a Subject-Observer design pattern. It is possible to add Listeners
to the Request object to e.g. draw a progress bar when downloading a large file. This is partly
based on Stefan Walk's work. A usage example for this is available.

Migration to 1.2:
* Redirect support is now OFF by default
* Redirect support is DEPRECATED
* Methods clearCookies(), clearPostData(), reset() are DEPRECATED
